In one of the coolest and more outrageous repair stories in quite some time, three white-hat hackers helped a regional rail company in southwest Poland unbrick a train that had been artificially rendered inoperable by the train’s manufacturer after an independent maintenance company worked on it. The train’s manufacturer is now threatening to sue the hackers who were hired by the independent repair company to fix it.

After breaking trains simply because an independent repair shop had worked on them, NEWAG is now demanding that trains fixed by hackers be removed from service.

Let us know what country you're in, so the next time you're invaded and genocided we'll remember it's barely as important as the weather forecast.

My reading of that was "climate change will kill most of our species in the long term if we don't take it seriously, so that's also something very important to track and belongs on the same page as wars.".
